Totapuri

Its small green appearance and beak at the end of the fruit resembles a parrot, hence its name (as tota means parrot in Hindi). Unlike other cultivars, its acceptable to eat the skin of this variety. But, dont expect totapuris to be sweet like the other cultivars, either! This variety is a bit crunchy and tangy, best served with salt and chili powder. One could also pickle this cultivar quite easily.
